YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Damage Report host John Iadarola is joined by TYT’s own Jayar Jackson to break down all of today’s major news and headlines for you!

A new academic model predicts that if we keep to our current path, the U.S. will experience more than 208k Covid-19 deaths by November. Brian Kilmeade actually pushed back when WH spokesperson Hogan Gidley claimed life is “undoubtedly” better now than in 2016. The Trump Admin formally signalled the US’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization, effective from July 2021 onwards. Trump wants to open up schools in the fall and is threatening to cut funding if he doesn’t get his way. SCOTUS upholds the Trump Admin’s decision to allow employers to decide whether or not their employees can have access to birth control coverage. WH Trade Advisor Peter Navarro claims he had an “awakening on the race issue,” claiming that since he’s a Californian he simply doesn’t “see race.” When looking through the most explosive parts of Mary Trump’s tell-all memoir, it makes sense that the Trump family is suing to try to ban it from being published at all.

"President Donald Trump's new push to open schools shows he's learned nothing from calamities sparked by his demands for premature state openings.

The coronavirus pandemic is again rearing out of control, rising in a majority of states as a new warning comes that more than 200,000 Americans could be dead by Election Day. The United States on Tuesday recorded 60,021 new cases of the virus, a new single day record.

But Trump barreled forward anyway, failing to offer detailed proposals or planning on the imminent question of how schools could open safely as soon as next month even as he admitted he intended to crank up pressure on governors to do what he wants.

"I would say that when we talk about the fall, that seems like a long time. It's a long time," Trump said in an interview Tuesday with Nexstar Media Group.

Trump on Wednesday tried to point to some other countries' ability to open their schools as evidence the US must do the same, but he is neglecting the fact that they all wrangled the pandemic through public health measures he's not pushing."
